Everyone wants to look good when they're throwing a party. Olympic host cities are no different.

England has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on training facilities and venues for the games that Team Great Britain has gotten to road test.

Cyclist Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour de France, the first Brit to win, is seen as a good omen. Next up for him: the Olympics.

"I'd love him to win. I'd love him to bring us as much gold as he can carry on his bicycle," said one London cyclist.

Team Great Britain came in fourth in the medal count with 47 medals at the Beijing Games. Many think it will come in fourth again, only this time with as many as 95 medals based on the caliber of this year's team.
